Joe Milton III had more total yards than Will Levis today.
Levis played all four quarters against Vanderbilt. Milton played two drives against Missouri.
Vitello: “I don’t even know if Jordan Beck should be at the University of Tennessee. Probably forged his transcript, he’s really a 35-year-old named Mike Honcho coming to class every day.”
Notable seniors that did not go through Senior Day:
DE Roman Harrison
LB Aaron Beasley
S Jaylen McCollough
QB Joe Milton III
WR Ramel Keyton
OL Jeremiah Crawford
LB Juwan Mitchell
Tony Vitello on the
@Vol_Hoops
season: "I know yesterday was upsetting for everyone here. I would imagine so. You would like to see Rick's team go further, but it's a championship person, a championship program, and they won a championship this year."
#Vols
RB Jaylen Wright had more rushing yards (136) tonight against Texas A&M than Jase McClellan (ALA), Raheim Sanders (ARK) and Jarquez Hunter (AU) did COMBINED against the Aggies this season.
Wright made his case as the best running back in the SEC tonight.
Total wins and SEC wins in first three years as Tennessee head coach:
Heupel: 26 wins, 14 SEC wins
Pruitt: 16 wins, 10 SEC wins
Butch: 21 wins, 10 SEC wins
Dooley: 15 wins, 5 SEC wins
Hyatt on the sellout: "Says a lot about Vol Nation. Can feel the energy coming down the Vol Walk. That's why I love Tennessee. I'm grateful for our fans and I love them."

's 5-0 victory against Vandy, Tennessee has now swept Vandy in baseball, football, and men's and women's basketball for the first time ever in the regular season.
Heupel on CBS postgame on what he wants the college football world to know: "This is just the beginning of this journey. Absolutely love our football team. They compete really hard... love one another. This is college football as good as it gets. Rocky Top is back baby let's go!"
Tony Vitello on Liam Doyle after he shoved against the

in game two of this past season’s series:
“We would’ve killed to have that kid.”
Well, now you do.

' win over No. 1 Alabama tonight, Tennessee becomes the ONLY school to win a regular season game over an AP Top 3 team in BOTH basketball and football this academic year.
Both times the
#Vols
did it against Alabama.
Per a Tennessee press release, the
#Vols
are the only the second program IN HISTORY to reach a No. 1 ranking in football, women's basketball, men's basketball, softball and baseball.
UT joins the Texas Longhorns as the only two D1 schools to accomplish the feat.
Jordan Beck will more than likely never play another game on the college level. In his final two years at Tennessee, he cranked 33 home runs to give him 34 in his three (really 2.5) year career.
Incredible back-to-back seasons for Beck.
Covered my last game as a student tonight.
20 games inside Neyland across three years on the beat have flown by… big thanks to
@rockytopinsider
and
@matt_ray_
for making it all possible.
On to graduation next month 🫡
Dollander on being at Tennessee: "I love this team with everything. They've shown me what it's like to be in a culture that likes to love everybody. Been a lot of fun.
Cannot be 100% certain, but most if not all of the entire
@Vol_Football
team is in TBA tonight.
Dozens and dozens of
#Vols
have walked by the media area and up into the stands.
Love the support on a HUGE night for
@LadyVol_Hoops
Neyland Stadium was sold out for Akron. Vol Nation filled 101,915 seats and packed the streets for the Vol Walk.
Josh Heupel had never seen anything like it.
Tony Vitello: "In Christian Moore's mind, he's already made it to the big leagues. Loves it when the lights are bright. And that's not an arrogant thing... I think we're lucky to have a guy with that mindset."
Tennessee is the first team to sweep Florida in Gainesville since 2006.
Also, the
#Vols
have set an SEC record for the best start in HISTORY at 17-1.
Wow.
Zander Sechrist exits the game to a loud ovation in Lindsey Nelson Stadium.
Absolutely shoved in the longest outing of his career to likely send this team to Omaha. What a moment.
Joe Lunardi on Tennessee being on the No. 2 line or not: "No, I don't think they are on the No. 2 line yet. They've been behind Auburn and Kentucky all year. Their head to head record against those teams does not matter."
Watched a lot of college football so far this season. Tennessee's performance today was one of the best all-around performances by any team in any game I've seen so far this season.
#VFL
Jauan Jennings scores his third career touchdown against the Falcons.
Scores on an out route from four yards out to put the
#49ers
against the
#Falcons
up 31-13 in a game that has major playoff implications for San Fran.

One of the greatest regular seasons in college baseball history ends with a series sweep over the reigning College World Series Champions on the road.

Redmond Walsh takes the mound, and Bob Kesling brings up that Walsh is three saves away from breaking Todd Helton's all-time save record at UT.
Helton replies: "Records are made to be broken. I hope he does it. Glad it's a Tennessee boy doing it, and a lefty for that matter."
Barnes on if he thinks Josiah-Jordan James will continue clicking: "I hope so, because he is a terrific Tennessee Volunteer. He's a stabilizer for this program. Recruiting, everything. A great teammate and piece of this team."
Josiah-Jordan James, Zakai Zeigler and Uros Plasvic are in attendance for the
#Vols
midweek game against Butler.
They are taking pictures with the fans in the concourse.
If Tennessee does what they’re supposed to do this year—win at least 8 games w/ the potential of winning 10—the hype & excitement around Josh Heupel’s program entering Fall of ‘23 will be unbelievably high.
Will be a young team, but my goodness is this class off to a good start.
Dylan Sampson now has NINE rushing TD on the season through less than 2.5 games.
He's already HALFWAY to the single-season program record of 18 rush TD...
#Vols
Caden Grice was one pitch away from a complete game, and Clemson went on to throw 10 pitchers.
The
#Vols
used three in 14 innings.
Baseball is a wild, wild game.
Not that this matters to Vitello or anyone on that team, and not that it should...
But Luc Lipcius finished his career as Tennessee Baseball's program leader in home runs.
TX A&M beats the Irish. Five teams remain in the CWS. FOUR are from the SEC. The other is Oklahoma: a future SEC team.
Oh and Tennessee didn't lose 10 games and was the top team in the nation all year.
College Baseball is the SEC's world. Other conferences are just living in it.
So two games in. Safe to say Bru McCoy is a stud. Not one of Hendon Hooker’s favorite targets yet, but as McCoy’s target share increases, he is going to be turning a lot of heads. Uses his size well and he’s shifty.
9 targets, 7 catches, 100 yards, 1 TD so far in his two games.
Vitello on Knoxville: "We like playing here and playing in front of our fans. This is a great state and a phenomenal college town right in the middle of a great city. It's great to be here in the middle of the University, and we're just trying to pull our weight."
#Vols
Tennessee is now 14-0 in Thompson-Boling Arena this season.
Plugging this quote from Josiah-Jordan James on what allows the
#Vols
to win big games in Knoxville.
"The crowd."
Jauan Jennings had 3 receptions for 29 yards in his playoff debut for the
#49ers
.
ALL three catches came in third down.
Productive performance from the
#VFL
in the win.
